Science Gallery looking for hot men - for T shirt experiment...
As we are coming closer to the launch of LOVE LAB we are looking for guys (over 18) to take part in an experiment...
Don't worry - it won't hurt!
All you would need to do is sleep in a t-shirt (provided by Science Gallery) for two nights and during that time avoid "smelly" things like smoking, cologne, perfumed soaps etc. We will also want a DNA sample (cheek cells, collected just by rinsing the mouth with water - no needles required!). In addition we want a photo....which we plan to take on the VIP opening night of LOVE LAB - so if you volunteer to take part you'll be invited to the launch party...
The idea is we will ask visitors to rate the smell of the t-shirt and also the photo. They won't know which photo belongs to which t-shirt.
Some research has shown that females choose males that are more similar genetically based on face, but dissimilar based on smell.
If you, or anyone you know is willing to volunteer please send name and contact details to Maria Phelan (maria (dot) phelan (at) sciencegallery (dot) com)
